Rigid rail systems provide continuous, overhead fall protection for workers performing façade maintenance, loading operations, or equipment service at height. Unlike traditional cable-based lifelines, rigid rails minimize deflection, allowing for shorter fall distances and increased safety in low-clearance environments.
A rigid rail system consists of a fixed, engineered track—mounted overhead, along ceilings, beams, or roof structures—that supports one or more trolleys connected to workers’ harnesses. The rigid track design keeps fall forces low and ensures a predictable, secure arrest path in the event of a slip or loss of balance.
Rigid rail systems must be designed, fabricated, and installed by qualified professionals. Each system must meet applicable Cal/OSHA and ANSI load and deflection requirements, and be proof load tested prior to use. Proper engineering documentation ensures your system remains safe, durable, and compliant over its lifespan.
